Taking over the world, one burger at the time!

I made some yummy homemade burgers this week, it’s always so perfect when you have left overs but not really sure what to do with them. Turning them into burgers is always the way to go! Enjoy!

Sweet potato burger

This burger taste so sweet!

Ingredients:

4 sweet potatoes medium sized cut up in cubes (size doesn’t matter so much as you’re going to blend them)

1/2 cup olive oil

1/4 cup tamari

Optional: add a few normal potatoes to the mix

Method:

Preheat the oven on 180 degrees.

Grease an oven dish with some oil and add the sweet potatoes. The next step is to give the sweet potatoes a nice bath in the olive oil and tamari.

Place in the oven for 40 minutes.

After that let them cool off a little and get a big mixing bowl, put the sweet potato in the bowl and blend with a hand blender, not super smooth as you still need a certain consistency to make burgers.

When that’s done the next step is to add rolled oats, they are basically the glue holding it all together. You can use gluten free oats if you prefer to not use gluten.

Now start mixing it all up, get in there with your hands! Two things, wash your hands first (of course) but also make sure the mixture is cool enough so you don’t burn your hands. Roll the mixture into balls first and then flatten them.

Last step: fry the burgers in some oil. I like using coconut oil for this, make sure to flip them and get them equally brown on both sides. Serve on a bed of rice with some yummy tofu ricotta cheese gopal vegan cheese on top.

Black bean burger

The process is very similar to the sweet potato one.

Ingredients

4 cups of black beans (this can of course also be any other beans)

1/4 cup of olive oil

1 tbsp of salt

1 tbsp of sweet paprika

1 tsp chilli powder

Method:

Soak and cook the beans first. Making sure they are nice and soft to work with. Not super soft but just enough so you can blend them.

In a large mixing bowl mix the beans, oil and spices together. Then with a hand blender blend it all together. Not too thin, still thick enough to make into burgers.

When that’s done the next step is to add rolled oats, they are basically the glue holding it all together. You can use gluten free oats if you prefer to not use gluten.

Now start mixing it all up, get in there with your hands! Two things, wash your hands first (of course) but also make sure the mixture is cool enough so you don’t burn your hands. Roll the mixture into balls first and then flatten them.

Last step: fry the burgers in some oil. I like using coconut oil for this, make sure to flip them and get them equally brown on both sides.
